Eurovision changes voting rules

Eurovision Song Contest will change voting rules. “During last week’s meeting of the Eurovision Song Contest’s governing body, the Reference Group, an EBU proposal to return from full-show televoting to a limited televoting window was approved.The Reference Group decided to, as from 2012, restore the opening of the televoting window after the last song has been performed, instead of before the first song. Initially, the change was introduced to give viewers the opportunity to vote throughout the show like during many other television programmes, and to vote instantly when a song is on,”reads the statement on Eurovision’s official website.
